- Sunday's Well is situated on a wooded incline in the townland of Fermoyle, Bantree. This well is still visited by great numbers on Good Friday. They came from far and near to pay "rounds" there.
St. Abey is the patron saint of this well. It is believed that once when she was on her way to Ballyvourney, she met a white deer at this well and as it was on a Sunday, she reached the well she blessed it and called it "Sunday's Well."
Several persons have been cured after paying "rounds" at this well. The "round" consists of three rosaries - five decades in each. This well is particularly reccomended for sore eyes and pains of all sorts. Those(continues on next page)
